A LACK OF CONFIDENCE.

Sulky Pillow was carried to the claim o.
Mr. Lsuterbach. adjoining thetown. and
put to thorough test of its qualities as
a pillow. 1t was operated by Mr.. w. G.
Lynde to the entire satisfaction of all
present. A lack of confidence in their
sulky plows on the part of other imple-
ment men kept them from putting them
n contest. They did not dare buck
against the Solid Comfort, sold by Dill

A Big Country and No Mistake.

The following are u few extracts
from an article which the Hon. Ed
ward Atkinson, president OF the man.
ufacturers' mutual flre-insurance COM
pany OF Boston, furnished for the Cen
fury Magazine in its January number,
and shows what vast knowledge
that gentleman has OF this country
and its resources, and ought to be
read carefully by every American citi.
zen. The comparison made with re-
gard to our national domain will
open the eyes OF people who don't
realize what a big country this is.
The state of Texas alone is larger
than either the Austrian empire. the
German empire, France, Spain or
Sweden. California, Dakota and
Montana are separately larger than
Norway. New Mexico is as large as
Great Britain and Ireland and larger
than Italy. Kansas is considerably
larger than Turkey in Europe. Flor.
ida is as large as England and Wales.
Kentucky is larger than Portugal.
Indiana is larger than Ireland or
Scotland. West Virginia is larger
than Switzerland. Maryland and
Vermont are each but a trihe smaller
than Belgium. Taken as n whole, the
United States are vastly larger than
any European country except Russia.
Mr.. Atkinson says that the visionary
possibilities of the future product OF
the United States may be imagined by
reference to the following statements:
The land in actual use for growing
corn, wheat, hay, oats and cotton in
the whole country now consists OF
2I5, 800 square miles, or a fraction
less than the area OF the state OF Tex
as. The entire wheat crop of the
united States could begrown on wheat
land OF the best quality selected from
that part OF the area of the state OF
Texas by which that single state
exceeds the present area of the Ger
man empire. Thecotton factories of
the world now require about ~, O00,-
600 bales OF cotton OF American
weight Good land in Texas produces
one bale to an acre. The worlds sup
ply OF cotton could therefore begrown
on less than 10000 square miles, or
upon en- area equal to only seven pei
cent. Of the area OF Texas.

things which failed to do, OF things
which had done, but which it would
have been better had | left undone;
and then / thought OF host OF minor
matters which at such times seemed
positively trivial. Then my thoughts
ran on other Alpine expeditions, and
OF that last one which we had made
five years ago.
Strangel The scene of it was close
beside us now; for, though shut out
from sight by impenetrable mist, we
knew that the mighty form OF the
Lyskamm was towering somewhere
above us, lost to sight among the
clouds. Even the day-August 18th
was the same. 1t seemed as il by q
strange irony OF fate that scene OF our
escape might witness the closing scene
OF us.
Then Franz's words came back to
me, and caught myself saying aloud:
"Franzl Franz On, for one hour OF
your guidance, and all would be well!
Oh, that you could come back to
earth to redeem your promise!" And
rs yet / spoke there was waited to-
ward us across the glacier voice,

OF a fiery sunset. We were saved.
We raced down to patch OF rocks

A SUICIDAL EPIDEMIC
Which Makes Its Appearance in Mime
apolis at Intervals.
LEAPED FROM A WINDOW.
Chamberlain's Horrible Death-..Why
Mcdonald Died---Yesterday's
Accidents.

The most horrible suicide that has
occurred in Minneapolis for some
months, took place early yesterday
morning, when Phineas Chamberlain,
an attorney, threw himself from the
third-story window of the Hale block,
corner of Hennepin avenue and Fifth
street. striking upon the stone pave
breaking his arms and legs in several
places, fracturing his skull and tearing
him to pieces internally.
No one saw him take the leap, but
every indication points to deliberate
suicide. The third story of the building
from which he jumped is occupied by
Mrs. III. E. Savage, who rented one or
two furnished rooms, and next to him
was Robert Liney. About 5 o'clock in
the morning Liney was awakened by
hearing some heavy body strike the
sidewalk under his window and he at
once arose and went into Chamberlain'S
room. Finding it empty, he looked out
of the window and saw lying on the
pavement dark body. Accusing the
family, he at once went down and there
found Chamberlain, clad only in shirt,
trousers and stockings, lying face down
"aiu, pioou pouring Iiolu HIS HouGh,
nose and ears. Liney at once gave the
alarm and the patrol wagon was sent
for. On its arrival Sergt. Kennedy
telephOned at once for Deputy Coroner
Towers. He pronounced the man dead
and had him taken to ConnOlly'S
morgue, where post norton eX-
animation was made, with the re-
suit as stated above. An inquest
will probably be held to-day. Chamber

evening by shooting himself through
the head, at his boarding place, 1910
Third avenue south. The body is now
at Warmers morgue, where it will be
kept until brother of the dead man at
Midland, Mich, is heard from. But it
is quite certain that the remains will be
buried at Lakewood, as that was the re-
quest made by Mcdonald. Several
days before his death Mcdonald wrote
to the lady he was engaged to. in Chi
cago, telling her that he was not feeling
well. A letter was received Yesterday
from this lady. addressed to Mcdonald,
stating that if he was too sick to come
to Chicago she would come up here and
care for him. The statement in an OBJ
scure evening sheet to the effect that
Mcdonald had been charged with in
timacy with Mrs. Charles Soleman is
pronounced entirely false by the dead
mans friends, who claim that Melon
aid only imagined that he had been
charged with the crime, and that he
worked himself up to such pitch of
nervousness that he really believed that
such a charge had been made. His
friends, and especially the men with
whom he has worked for the past year,
speak of him in the highest terms and
think that he must have been insane
when he took his own life.

out about minute later, covered with
cobwebs and dirt, while his helmet was
crashed over his eyes. His lantern was
gone, too, all but the handle, which he
seemed to have retained as mememtO
of his exc urSion. He explained that he
met Rivers i'll the cellar and Rivers had
club. The captain and sergeant then
introduced their revOlvers, not them
selves, into the opening and fired sew
eral salutes. to which Rivers paid no at
tention. Another lantern was produced
and the patrOlman was again ordered to
descend. This time he took the
preeaution to draw his reYol-
yer. and when Rivers began his
Indian club exercises again fired. The
bail struck the negroes right arm at the
elbow, and he made break for the
opening. AS he climbed out Sergt.
Coffin Knocked him down with his billy.
Police Surgeon Kelly. when he made
the examination of the wound, found
the bullet had traversed the forearm
about nine inches, passing between the
bones and lodging near the elbow joint.
Rivers is wanted at Chicago to answer
to the charge of mayhem. He was a
letter carrier there and recently bit off
the nose of James Appleton, State
street merchant, during fight. The
Chicago authorities were notified and he
will be sent back there to-day.

Episcopal Ladies at Work.

The sixth annual meeting of the
Minnesota branch of the Woman's Aux
Hilary of the Protestant Episcopal Church
of America was held yesterday at St.
Paul's church. Addresses were de-
livered by Rev. j. W. Greenwood, of
Oshkosh, Wis, and by Bishop Whipple,
who spoke of the missionary work in
the Northern and Western portion of
British America. He said: Il doubt
whether you can find anywhere i'll the
world people who are more helplessly
degraded than the Indians of North
America. The Indians, as you go fur
ther North, become more and more
degraded, large proportion
of them having at some time been can
nibals." Mr.. Wilkinson, of Kenyon,
made an address on missionary work in
the afternoon. Mrs. Charles B. Bron-
son, of st. Paul, was elected president,
and Mrs. Mary Folds, of Minneapolis,
secretary and treasurer. AT the even
ing session short addresses on mission
airy work were made by Rev. M. N. Gil
bert, assistant bishop of the diocese,
Rev. Charles d. Andrews and Rev. j.
w. Wright. There was about sixty-fve
delegates from different parts, of the
state present.
